INTRODUCTION. 



This work has been undertaken, from a be- 
lief that something of the kind is wanted, by 
citizens and strangers, as a book of reference, 
and guide to the numerous business concerns 
of this extensive city. Philadelphia as it is, 
comprises every information which may be 
required, and which, it is believed, cannot be 
obtained elsewhere without much loss of time. 

It occupies a place hitherto unattempted, 
and forms a complete manual for the merchant 
and traveller, presenting a statistical view of 
the city, with the most important and useful 
details for the more frequent subjects of 
inquiry. Great labour has been bestowed in 
collecting and arranging the materials, and the 
general accuracy of the work can be depended 
on. Omissions must, of course, be expected, 
in a first attempt; and the publisher will be 
thankful to gentlemen who will point out any 
errors, which will be corrected in future edi- 
tions.

DESCRIPTION OF PHILADELPHIA; 



Philadelphia, the second city in size in the United 
States, stands between the Delaware and Schuylkill 
rivers, five miles above their junction, in lat. 39° 57' 
N. and long. 75° 10' 59" from Greenwich, and is about 
120 miles distant from the Atlantic ocean by the course 
of the river. The city was founded by William Penn, 
in the year 1682. The original design of the pro- 
prietor would have covered an area of more than twelve 
square miles, but by his charter of 1701, the plot of the 
city was contracted and declared to be bounded by the 
two rivers, an extent of about two miles east and west, 
and on the north and south by Vine and Cedar streets, 
an extent of about one mile. But the progress of im- 
provements, long since broke beyond these limited 
boundaries, and now we behold the city compactly 
built along the Delaware nearly four miles, though for 
municipal purposes, the boundaries of the city proper 
remain unaltered. The city is divided into the follow- 
ing districts : — the corporations of the city of Phila- 
delphia, of the Northern Liberties, Kensington, Spring 
Garden, Southwark and Moyamensing. The whole 
number of streets in the city and districts is about six 
hundred, varying much in width, Arch street being 
sixty feet, Market street one hundred, Broad street one 
hundred and thirteen, while others are much narrower.

GOVERNMENT. 

The first municipal officers were appointed by the 
Proprietary, but the people soon manifested their dis- 
approbation of a system of government in which tliey 
had no share, and manifold were the complaints to the 
General Assembly of the abuses practised under it. 
On the revolution, this unpopular charter was abrogated 
by the General Assembly, and the city remained under 
the provincial government until 1789, when it was a 
second time incorporated. This charter continued in 
force until the year 1796, when the present system was 
established. 

The government of the city proper is vested in a 
Mayor, Recorder, and fifteen Aldermen, a Select and 
Common Council, besides subordinate executive officers. 

Mayor. — Under the act of incorporation of 1789, 
the Mayor was annually elected by the Aldermen from 
their own body; the act of 1796, invested the Select 
and Common Councils, with the power to elect, and by 
a supplement passed April 10, 1826, the Councils 
were no longer restricted in their choice to the body 
of Aldermen, but were authorized to elect annually 
any citizen of the city, to the office of Mayor. He is 
authorized to issue warrants to any part of the county 
of Philadelphia, for the apprehension of persons charged 
with having committed any offence within the city; 
subpoenas to any part of the state, and also writs of 
capias into any county, for the apprehension of any 
person indicted or outlawed, for felonies committed 
within the city. He has the appointment of all the 
officers of the corporation, except the City Treasurer, 
and the Clerks and Messengers of the Councils. His 
salary is two thousand dollars a year, and he cannot 



GOVERNMENT. 11 

hold any office under the United States government 
pending - his term. 

The Recorder of the City under the act of 1789, was 
elected by the Mayor and Aldermen, for the term of 
seven years, but by the act of 1796, the appointing 
power was vested in the governor of the state, and 
being in a strict sense a judge, he holds his office dur- 
ing good behaviour. He is vested with the powers 
of a Justice of the Peace, and Justice of Oyer and 
Terminer, and General Gaol delivery for the city. He 
receives a salary from the state, and also from the city, 
and his office is incompatible with offices under the 
United States. 

Aldermen. There are fifteen Aldermen appointed 
by the Governor, who are invested with the powers of 
Justices of the Peace, and have jurisdiction of all 
causes of action arising from contract, where the sum 
demanded is not above one hundred dollars, except 
where the title to lands may come in question, or 
actions upon promise of marriage. They hold their 
commissions during good behaviour. 

Mayor's Court has the same criminal jurisdiction 
over offences committed within the city as the Sessions 
has for the county. It is held by the Mayor, Recorder 
and Aldermen, or any three or more of them, whereof 
the Mayor or Recorder shall be one. The Mayor pre- 
sides when present. 

Councils. The whole legislative power of the cor- 
poration is exclusively vested in the Select and Com- 
mon Councils, who are annually chosen by the people 
on the second Tuesday in October. They receive no 
compensation, sit in separate chambers, and each body 
has a negative on the legislative acts of the other. 



12 PUBLIC SQUARES. 

The Common Council consists of twenty members, 
elected from such citizens as are qualified to serve as 
members of the House of Representatives. 

The Select Council is composed of twelve members, 
from citizens qualified to serve as senators of this com- 
monwealth. They are chosen for three years, are 
divided into three classes, and vacate their seats in 
rotation, so that one third may be chosen every year- 



PUBLIC SQUARES. 

The various public squares, reserved in the original 
plan of the city, evince the foresight and judgment of 
William Penn. They are not only conducive to health, 
by promoting a free circulation of air, but are pleasant 
places for recreation to the citizens, during the heat 
of the summer. 

Independence Square, which extends from Chesnut 
street to Walnut street, and from Fifth to Sixth streets, 
is tastefully laid out in gravelled walks, delightfully 
shaded by indigenous and exotic trees, and enclosed by 
a substantial iron railing. It is thrown open to the 
public as a promenade, and is a place of general resort. 
This square is 398 feet from east to west, and 470 
feet from north to south. 

Washington Square, extends from Sixth street to 
Washington street, 456 feet, and from Walnut street 
to Locust street, 370 feet. This square was formerly 
Potter's Field, but is now laid out in delightful walks, 
and is planted with a variety of beautiful trees. It is 
surrounded by a row of flourishing Linden trees, 
planted on a line with the curbstone of the street, and 
is also a place of general resort. 



PUBLIC BUILDINGS. 13 

Franklin Square lies between Race and Vine streets, 
and Sixth and Franklin streets. Its extent from north 
to south is 632 feet, and from east to west 600 feet. 
It is also handsomely laid out in gravelled walks, 
planted with trees, and thrown open to the public. 

Penn Square, formerly called Centre Square, is at the 
intersection of Broad and High streets. This space, 
though formerly entire, was in 1828, by order of Coun- 
cils, cut into four instict square, which have not yet 
been thrown open as public walks. 

Logan Square extends from Race to Vine street, and 
from Schuylkill Fifth street, westward. This square is 
not yet improved. 

Rittenhouse Square, is of the same dimensions as 
Logan Square, and lies between Walnut and Ann sts. 
extending westward from Schuylkill Fifth street, be- 
yond Schuylkill Fourth street. Not yet improved. 



PUBLIC BUILDINGS. 

The Slate House. — The circumstance of the Con- 
gress of the United States having held its deliberations 
within these walls, and the Declaration of Indepen- 
dence having been first publicly read from the steps, 
July 4, 1776, gives an interest to this building. It was 
commenced in the year 1729, and finished in 1735, 
and though externally plain, has a venerable appear- 
ance. The whole original expense was not quite six 
thousand pounds. The steeple by which it was for- 
merly surmounted was taken down about the close of 
the revolution, but in 1828, a new one was erected, in 
order to restore as nearly as practicable this venerable 



14 PUBLIC BUILDINGS. 

building to its original features. It stands on Chesnut 
street, between Fifth and Sixth streets, and though for- 
merly isolated, the whole square is now occupied by 
public buildings. 

Bank of the United, States. — -This splendid building, 
which is composed externally of marble, stands on 
Chesnut street, between Fourth and Fifth streets. The 
foundation stone was laid April 19, 1819, and the 
building was completed in August, 1824. It is mo- 
delled after the Parthenon at Athens. 

Bank of Pennsylvania. — This building has fre- 
quently been pronounced the chastest specimen of 
Grecian architecture in the country. The design is 
taken from the temple of Minerva at Athens. The 
whole building is composed of Pennsylvania marble, 
The first stone was laid in April, 1799, and the whole 
finished in 1801. It stands on Second street, between 
Chesnut and Walnut streets. 

The Exchange, when completed will be among the 
most splendid edifices in the city. It is composed of 
white marble, and stands at the junction of Dock and 
Third streets. The Post Office is in this building. 

The Arcade stands on Chesnut street, west of Sixth 
street, 100 feet front, and extends north 150 feet to 
Carpenter street. The first story is occupied as stores 
and shops, the second as offices, and the third by Peale's 
Museum of Natural Curiosities. The cellars are occu^ 
pied as refectories. This building which is of white 
marble, was erected in 1826-27. 

The University and Medical College Halls stand in 



PUBLIC BUILDINGS. 15 

Ninth street, between Market and Chesnut streets, and 
are each 85 feet front, by 112 feet deep. Erected in 
1830-'31. 

The Mint stands on Chesnut street, near Broad 
street. It is of the Ionic order, built of white marble, 
presenting a front of 122 feet. It was commenced in 
1829. 

Pennsylvania Hospital^ occupies an entire square be- 
tween Spruce and Pine streets, and Eighth and Ninth 
streets, containing about four acres. The institution 
was founded in 1750, and in 1755 the east wing of 
the present commodious building was erected, since 
which many additions have been made. In the yard 
fronting on Pine street, is a leaden statue bronzed of 
William Penn, on a marble pedestal, who is represented 
holding a scroll, having part of the first sentence of 
the "Charter of Privileges," inscribed on it. This 
statue was presented by John Penn, of London, to the 
Hospital, in the year 1801. 

The Marine Asylum stands on the eastern bank of 
the Schuylkill, a short distance south of the city line. 
It is 386 feet long, consisting of a portico 90 feet, sup- 
ported by eight Ionic columns, and two wings each 
148 feet. 

The Alms House. A splendid and spacious build- 
ing for the reception of the poor stands on the western 
bank of the Schuylkill, opposite Cedar street. It was 
commenced in 1831. 

Pennsylvania Institution for the Deaf and Dumb is 
a spacious building, constructed of granite, located on 



16 PUBLIC BUILDINGS. - 

the west side of Broad street, near Pine street. The 
whole front is 96 feet 6 inches, and 63 feet deep. The 
foundation was laid in May, 1824. 

The Eastern Penitentiary of Pennsylvania. The 
external appearance of this building conveys a vivid 
idea of the magnificent castles of Europe during the 
middle ages. The walls are twelve feet thick at the 
base, and the principal front 670 feet in length. The 
ground occupied by it contains about ten acres. The 
corner stone was laid May 22, 1823. 

House of Refuge, stands at the corner of Francis' 
Lane and the Ridge Road, in a plot of ground 400 feet 
in length, and 231 in breadth. The main edifice is 
92 feet front, by 30 deep. The corner stone was laid 
June 21, 1827. 

Theatres. — There are three theatres in Philadelphia : 
the Chesnut street, the Walnut street, and the Arch 
street. That in Chesnut street is near the corner of 
Sixth street. It is calculated to accommodate more 
than 2000 persons. The present building was erected 
in 1822. The Walnut Street Theatre stands at the 
corner of Ninth street, and is 96 feet 6 inches front, 
by 146 feet deep. It was built in 1809. Arch Street 
Theatre stands a short distance west of Sixth street, 
and will contain about the same number as the Ches- 
nut street house. It was built in 1828. ' 

The Water Works. — Of all her public works, Phila- 
delphia has most reason to be proud of that by which 
the Schuylkill water has been introduced throughout 
the city. In 1797, a plan was adopted which was to 
form a reservoir on the east bank of the Schuylkill, 
from which water was to be thrown by a steam en- 
gine into a tunnel, and thence carried to another engine

house, at the centre of the city, where it was to be 
again raised by a second engine into a reservoir, from 
which it was to be distributed in pipes through the 
city. Ten years experience proved that a sufficient 
supply could not be obtained by this method, accord- 
ingly, in 1811, a new reservoir was created, and two 
large engines constructed, which, however, proved 
inadequate to supply the demand, although the annual 
expenses were enormous. In 1819, the project of 
damming the Schuylkill, and erecting the works at Fair 
Mount was commenced, the whole cost of which was 
in 1824, $432,512, and the entire amount expended 
on the successive operation, $1,443,585. The con- 
sumption in the summer months is about 3,000,000 
gallons for 24 hours, and the iron pipes through which 
the water is conveyed to the city and districts, make 
together an extent of about sixty miles. The sum 
annually paid for the use of the water is upwards of 
60,000 dollars, and the experience of years has shown 
that the power is sufficient to raise many times as 
much water as the city can possibly require for its 
consumption.* 



FASHIONABLE RIDES, &c. 

The Columbia Rail Road enters the city at the in- 
tersection of Broad and Callowhill streets, and its 
place of crossing the Schuylkill is about a mile and a 

* On the 1st of January, 1833, there were in the 
city and liberties seventy-two and a half miles of 
Iron pipes. The receipts for water rent the present 
year, amount to $77,567 75. Expenditures of work- 
ing the machinery, $1600 — salaries, &c, $3500. 



18 FASHIONABLE RIDES, &C. 

half above Fair Mount Water Works, where a splendid 
bridge is now in progress. It is a fashionable and de- 
lightful ride in the cars to the river. 

The Philadelphia and Norristown Rail Road enters 
the city at the intersection of Ninth and Buttonwood 
streets. It is completed to the upper part of German- 
town. In the summer of 1832, pleasure cars were 
placed upon it, with horse power, since which time 
locomotive engines have been employed. The cars 
run six or eight times a day, and the ride is as delight- 
ful as it is novel. 

Gray's Ferry, renowned as the junketing place of 
our forefathers — where our grandfathers and grand- 
mothers danced and sung — where the scenery has a 
right pleasant smack of the antique about it, and where 
the floating bridge still swings as it did in the days 
of the revolution. To reach this spot, the tourist 
passes by one road the Naval Asylum and the Arsenal ; 
by the other, the new Alms House, all worth a visit. 
Eeyond the ferry we follow the Darby road, lined with 
the redoubts prepared for the reception of the English 
during the late war ; turn off opposite the Blue Bell 
to Penrose's Ferry, making a pleasant ride of almost 
fifteen miles. 

Laurel Hill — cross the Upper Ferry, and pass through 
the pretty village of Mantua. The Columbia Rail 
Road crosses the river at this place, and half an hour 
may be agreeably passed in examining the works and 
the scenery. At the Falls Bridge there are temptations 
of various kinds. The best plan is to push on to Flat 
Rock, passing the Wissahiccon, and through Mana- 
yunk. 



WARDS. 19 

The Wissahiccon is a volume of itself, unfortunately 
a sealed volume to ninety-nine in a hundred of the 
Philadelphians. There are several ways of getting 
at it; the stout, vigorous pedestrian, who, with his 
crabstick in hand, cares little about a good ramble, 
should make his way to Chesnut Hill, stretch beyond, 
to the intersection of the road with the creek, and 
there take the foot-path on the east bank. He has now 
about seven miles down the stream to the Schuylkill, 
and a walk unequalled for interest. A constant suc- 
cession of waterfalls, rocks, precipices, rustic bridges, 
picturesque mills, meadows and streams present them- 
selves. Pic-nic parties should leave their horses at the 
Falls of Schuylkill, and take the Wissahiccon at the 
mouth. The lovers of the picturesque, when fairly in 
the spot, will soon learn the geography ; the study will 
amply repay them.

* This splendid building is one of the finest orna- 
ments of Philadelphia. It excites the attention, and 
commands the admiration of our citizens and of stran- 
gers, while it reflects credit upon the enterprising stock- 
holders, as well as upon the architect who planned it. 
The Exchange occupies a lot of ground bounded by 
Third, Walnut and Dock streets. The first floor is 
divided oft into the Post Office, a Coffee Room and Bar 
Room, Stock Broker's Offices, and several offices of In- 
surance Companies. The Reading Room, on the second 
floor, will be very spacious and convenient. It is to be 
under the superintendence of J. M. Sanderson, Esq. a 
gentleman well calculated for the situation, he having 
for ten or twelve years past been the proprietor of an 
establishment of the same kind in this city,

WATCH. 



Eastern District — Watch House corner of Second 
and Market street ; number of watchmen employed is 
fifty. 

Western District — Watch House corner of Filbert 
and Broad streets ; number of watchmen employed is 
sixty-one — total in the city proper, one hundred and 
eleven. 

The annual expense for lighting and watching is, 
$57,280 62, for the year 1832. 



PRISONS. 

There are at present in the city and county three 
prisons — one at the corner of Sixth and Walnut streets, 
for the reception of convicts — one at the south-west 
corner of Arch and Broad streets, for debtors and 
vagrants. 

These two, however, are shortly to be taken down, 
and the spacious building now nearly completed, in 
Moyamensing, to be substituted in their place. The 
third is the Eastern Penitentiary, on Cherry Hill, and 
the most worthy of notice, not only on account of its 

3 



34 ALMS HOUSE. 

architecture and arrangement, but for the admirable 
discipline which has been adopted to reclaim its in- 
mates. 

Surrounded by massy walls, stands the building for 
the confinement of convicts, from the centre of which 
diverge the cells, which are pierced throughout their 
whole length by galleries. A rotunda in the centre, 
occupied by the superintendent, enables him to over- 
look the whole interior of the prison. Small yards are 
attached to each cell, where the prisoners are permitted 
to enjoy the air and exercise for two hours every day. 
No communication is allowed between the convicts, nor 
are strangers permitted to see or visit them. Each 
occupies his separate cell, which contains an iron frame 
for his bed, a loom or other implements for the labour 
which has been assigned him, a chair, table, and every 
appliance to ensure the utmost, possible cleanliness. 
Such as can read are furnished with a Bible, while 
every Sunday a chaplain preaches in the gallery, and is 
distinctly heard by the inmates of every cell. By 
means of flues, an equal and sufficient heat is kept up 
in the coldest weather. Although this system is a new 
experiment in prison discipline, it already promises to 
be attended with the happiest results. The criminal 
in silence and solitude, has an opportunity of looking 
back upon the errors which have thus degraded him, 
and comes back into the world doubly armed to resist 
the temptations which have misled him. 



ALMS HOUSE. 

The present Ahns House is situated in Spruce street, 
on the south side, between Tenth and Eleventh streets, 
embracing the whole square. It is a plain brick build-

ing. This building will be taken down in a few years, 
and the inmates removed to the spacious and beautiful 
buildings now being erected on the opposite side of the 
river Schuylkill, when will be connected with the esta- 
blishment, agricultural employment, as well as other 
occupations conducive to health, and to the reduction of 
pauperism.

Many of the works in these various depots are scarce, 
and not easily procured at the present time. The library 
of the University contains a donation from the unfor- 
tunate Louis XVI., made during the Revolutionary war, 
all of which were printed at the royal printing office, 
and treat of mathematics, natural history, &c. The 
library of the Academy of Fine Arts contains a dona- 
tion from Bonaparte. The libraries of the Hospital and 
Alms House, contain the best works on medicine, sur- 
gery, and the sciences ; while those of the Academy of 
Natural Sciences and the Museum, are devoted to na- 
tural history and travels. The library of St. Augustine's 
Church, contains, we believe, the only complete copy of 
the " Fathers" in this country.

MILITARY. 81 

SECOND BRIGADE. 

The Second Brigade consists of the whole Militia 
and Volunteer force of the county ; but there is nothing 
to prohibit the Volunteer corps, either of the city or 
county, from attaching themselves to either Brigade. — 
As independent corps, this right belongs to them. 

The Second Brigade is commanded by Gen. John D. 
Goodwin. Staff*— William O. Cline. 

There are several fine Regiments, mostly consisting 
of country troops, attached to this brigade ; but, as the 
general distance of their respective locations is so far 
from the city, we seldom, except upon occasions of great 
public excitement, are gratified with a visit from them. 
That part of the Brigade which resides within the city 
limits, consists of 

Cavalry. 
Washington Cavalry, Captain Barras. 
Penn Township Troop, Captain Nixon. 

Light Infantry. 

Governor's Guards, Captain White. 

Monroe Guards, Captain Streeper. 

Northern Liberty Volunteers, Captain Goodman. 

Penn Township Guards, Captain Lutz. 

Lafayette Light Infantry, Captain Meady. 

Mechanic Rifle, a new corps. 

The Washington Rifle corps, and several others 
whose names we are unable to learn, are but merging 
into existence. 

Of the country part of this Brigade, that which has 
fallen particularly under our notice is the Holmesburg 
troop, solely commanded by Captain Breck. This may 
be considered as among the most superior of its kind 
within the limits of the state ; their strength being from 
G

eighty to one hundred men, rank and file, and their 
superior horsemanship and discipline being of a kind 
that may be equalled, but not surpassed. 

The Germantown troop, Captain Smith. — This is 
another of those whose horsemanship and skill far sur- 
pass expectation created by appearance. 

There are, likewise, the Germantown Blues, the 
Frankford Artillerists, the Oxford Light Infantry, and a 
very superior corps now under command of Colonel 
Bomeisler. 

The field officers of this Brigade, as far as we remem- 
ber, are Colonel Knap, Major Nathans, Col. Bomeisler. 

Brigade Inspector. — Colonel R. Bartle.

The instructions of the College are conveyed in part 
by lectures, but principally by the study of the most 
approved text books, aided by the explanations of the 
professors. The diligence of the student is tested by 
rigid daily examinations. The character of each reci- 
tation is recorded, and the results communicated to pa- 
rents or guardians in the middle or at the end of each 
term. At the end of each term, public examinations of 
the classes are held by the Faculty ; and the students 
are classed in the order of merit.

higher class, and incompetent students are dismissed 
from the institution. 

Negligent and indolent students are transferred to a 
lower class when unable to proceed with the studies of 
their own class. 

The terms for instruction in the regular studies of 
the College already enumerated, are $25 per term, pay- 
able in advance. 

The modern languages are taught by approved in- 
structors, at a moderate additional expense. 

Proper boarding, including washing, &c. can be had 
in the city, for from $2 50 to $3 per week. 

Students not from the city of Philadelphia, will, if it 
be requested by their parents, have one of the faculty 
appointed as a guardian, who will take charge of the 
disbursements, and attend to the comfort and well-doing 
of the individual. 

The degree of Master of Arts may be conferred on 
the alumni of the University, bachelors in the arts of 
three years' standing, who shall apply for that honour. 
Any master of arts upon taking his degree, may de- 
liver a public dissertation, at the commencement at

the provost. 

A public commencement for conferring degrees is 
held on the last Thursday in July. 



MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 

The Medical Department is under the immediate 
government of the medical professors, who constitute 
the Faculty of Medicine, subject to the rules and statutes 
of the board of trustees. 

The organization of the Medical Faculty is as fol- 
lows. It consists of 

A professorship of Anatomy. 

A professorship of the Institutes and Practice of 
Physic, and Clinical Medicine. 

A professorship of Surgery. 

A professor of Materia Medica and Pharmacy. 

A professorship of Chemistry. 

A professorship of Midwifery and the Diseases of 
Wtfmen and Children. 

The Medical Faculty hold meetings for the purpose 
of arranging and conducting the business of their de- 
partment, and establishing proper rules and regulations, 
(subject to the rules and statutes of the board of trus- 
tees,) for the preservation of order and decorum among 
the medical students. They keep regular minutes of 
their proceedings, which are at all times open to the 
inspection of the board of trustees. 

The Medical Faculty appoint one of their own mem- 
bers to act as Dean, and it is his duty to keep the 
minutes of the faculty, to arrange and conduct the 
business of examining: the candidates for medical de- 



MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS. 99 

i 

grees, to arrange and conduct the business of the faculty 
at their meetings, and to attend to correspondence. 

The session for the medical lectures begins on the 
first Monday of November, and ends about the first day 
of March ensuing. 

The commencement for conferring Medical Degrees 
is by a special mandamus of the board of trustees, held 
generally about the first day of April, or within as short 
a time as possible after the examinations of candidates 
are over. 

Rules and Regulations for conferring the Degree of 
Doctor of Medicine. 

I. Every candidate for this degree must have attain- 
ed the age of twenty-one years — applied himself to the 
study of medicine for three years — and been during 
that time the private pupil, for two years at least, of a 
respectable practitioner of medicine. 

II. The candidate must have attended two complete 
courses of the following lectures in this institution: 

Anatomy. 

Institutes and Practice of Physic and Clinical Medi- 
cine. 

Materia Medica and Pharmacy. 

Chemistry. 

Surgery. 

Midwifery, and the Diseases of Women and Chil- 
dren. 

He must also have attended one course of Clinical 
instruction in the Philadelphia Aims-House Infirmary, 
or the Pennsylvania Hospital, or some other institution 
approved of by the Faculty of Medicine. 

III. Medical students who have attended one com- 
plete course in a respectable medical school, where the 



100 MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS. 

attendance on two complete courses is necessary to a 
degree, and where the same branches are taught as in 
this, are permitted to become candidates by an attend- 
ance here for one full course only ; and are by the latter 
placed upon the same privilege with students who have 
attended this school twice. 

IV. Preparatory to obtaining any tickets, the student 
must matriculate, by having his name registered by the 
Dean of the Medical Faculty ; and he shall not be con- 
sidered to have attended a complete course of lectures, 
unless his tickets are taken on or before the third Mon- 
day of the session. 

V. When candidates for a Medical Degree apply to 
the Dean for admission as such, they must exhibit their 
tickets to prove that the regulations have been complied 
with. 

VI. Each candidate, at the time of his application, 
must deliver to the Dean of the Medical Faculty at least 
one week before his examination, and on or before the 
10th of March, a thesis composed by himself, on some 
medical subject, and to be approved of by the professors. 
This thesis is referred to one of the professors, who shall 
examine the candidate upon it, in the presence of the 
Medical professors, and such of the trustees as choose to 
attend. 

VII. When a candidate is rejected, his essay will be 
retained by the Medical Faculty. 

VIII. When candidates withdraw their essays for 
any purpose whatever, they upon reapplication will be 
placed at the foot of the list. 

IX. The dissertation must be in the candidate's own 
hand-writing, and must be written uniformly on paper 
of the same size, the alternate pages being left blank. 
General bad spelling in a thesis, or general inattention 
to the rules of grammar, precludes a candidate for ex- 
amination for a degree. 



MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS. 101 

X. All questions on the admissibility of a thesis, shall 
be determined some time previously to the day fixed for 
the examination of the candidate, who may have pre- 
sented it. 

XI. A thesis may be published if the candidate de- 
sire it, the permission of the professor by whom he was 
examined thereon being- first obtained, but no alteration 
shall be made therein after such permission is given. 
A copy of the thesis must be deposited in the University 
library, before the degree is conferred. 

XII. The voting on the case of each candidate is by 
private ballot, and two negative votes reject him. 

XIII. Each candidate shall pay to the Dean of the 
Faculty the fees of graduation at the time of his exami- 
nation. 

XIV. Candidates who have passed their examinations, 
and in other respects complied with the regulations, 
must be reported by the Dean to the Provost, who in 
turn will communicate such report to the board of trus- 
tees, in order that if approved of by them, their mandamus 
be issued for conferring the degree at such time as they 
may think expedient. 

XV. The degree will not be conferred upon a candi- 
date who absents himself from the public commence- 
ment, except by a special permission of the Medical 
Faculty. 

XVI. Graduates of respectable medical schools, by 
attending one complete course in this institution, are 
put upon the same footing with students who have at- 
tended two complete courses here. 

XVII. Honorary degrees may be conferred at the 
instance of the Provost and Medical Faculty, or in pur- 
suance of a resolution of the trustees ; but no such de- 
gree shall be conferred unless the mandamus ordering 
it be signed by two-thirds of the wholo number of trus- 



102 LITERARY AND 

tees, or unless the candidate shall have been nominated 
at the board three months previously to taking the 
question on conferring the degree.

This building, one of the chastest specimens of archi- 
tecture in Philadelphia, stands at the corner of Ches- 
nut and Juniper streets, with a front of 125 feet, and 
■extending back to Penn square, one of the largest 
squares in the city. The edifice is of marble, with a 
portico, containing six Ionic columns. 

The amount of coinage, from the commencement t® 
the present date, (1833,) may be calculated in round

PHILADELPHIA AND COLUMBIA RAIL ROAD. 

This rail road, as originally designed, extends from 
Philadelphia to the town of Columbia, on the Susque- 
hannah river, and terminates at a point about thirteen 
miles below York Haven. The distance between these 
two places by the rail road is eighty-one and 3-4th 
miles. Following the line of the road from the inter- 
section of Vine and Broad streets, Philadelphia, for 
rather more than two and a half miles, you arrive at 
the foot of the Schuylkill inclined plane, which is about 
fifty feet above mean tide, on which level the road runs 
to this point. This plane is about two thousand seven 
hundred feet in length, and its elevation from base to 
summit is about one hundred and eighty feet. There 
is at the western extremity of the road another inclined 
plane at Columbia. This is near two thousand feet in 
length, and has an elevation from foot to head of ninety 
feet. Stationary steam power will be resorted to, to 
overcome these acclivities. The distance from the 
head of the plane at Philadelphia to the head of that at 
Columbia, exceeds seventy-seven miles, and in the whole 
of this distance, the elevation will not exceed thirty feet 
to the mile, a degree of ascent overcome with the ut- 
most facility by the aid of horse power alone, and for 
purposes of rail road transportation almost equivalent 
to a level. The average ascent, however, does not much 
exceed twenty-five feet to the mile. 

The road is entirely graded, the cuttings and em- 
bankments generally slight. The highest point on the 



MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION. *115 

line is at " the Gap," about thirty miles from Columbia. 
This cut is about thirty -two feet deep. The bed of the 
road here is five hundred and sixty feet above mean 
tide, three hundred feet above the head of the plane at 
Schuylkill, and two hundred above that of Columbia. 

This road has been located with a peculiar view to 
its adaptation to steam power for the purposes of trans- 
portations, and the shortest radius of curvature occur- 
ring any where on the line is about six hundred and 
thirty feet, being 1 six degrees of curvature in a chord of 
sixty-six feet, and this most desirable end has been at- 
tained, with but slight cuttings and fillings. 

The country through which the road winds its way 
is unsurpassed in interest and beauty. The whole line 
of the rail road, and the Lancaster turnpike pursuing 
the same course, and alternately crossing each other, is 
for many miles richly studded with magnificent and 
imposing mansions, delightful villas, substantial farm 
houses and capacious barns and granaries, and for 20 
miles present to the enraptured gaze the appearance of 
one extensive and continuous village, the abode of 
health, industry, and content, the home of the happy, 
the virtuous, and the frugal. But few towns of any 
consequence are passed in its route. Many streams, 
creeks, and rivulets are traversed by it by means of 
wooden structures, of the most substantial description, 
designed tastefully, placed judiciously, in their mechani- 
cal execution remarkable for their neatness, and well 
calculated for their durability and security. The Schuyl- 
kill is crossed by a splendid viaduct of stone, 980 feet 
long. 

The most remarkable structures of timber are over 
the Great and Little Conestoga, near Lancaster. The 
one is 1400 hundred feet in length, and 34 in breadth, 



*1I6 MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION* 

resting on 10 piers — the other is about 1000 feet longv 
They are entirely completed. The road passes directly 
through the city of Lancaster, and from thence to its 
point of destination,- Columbia, on the Susquehannah- 
Columbia is a thriving and flourishing town, with about 
2500 inhabitants. 

The original estimated cost of this work was $2,29 7,120 y 
being about $28,173 per mile. From some departure* 
however, from the designed method of construction, the 
amount expended willy upon its completion, much ex- 
ceed this amount, and it would not be hazarding much, 
to say that the final cost of the eighty-three and l-4th 
miles between Philadelphia and Columbia, will reach 
$3,000,000. 

From Philadelphia westward, 22 miles of the road 
are completed and in constant use. At about this dis- 
tance the Pennsylvania rail road, as this is frequently 
called, " par excellence," receives in the South Valley 
Hill, two miles west of Paoli, the West Chester Rail 
Road. This road commences at the flourishing borough 
©f West Chester, containing about 2000 inhabitants.- 
The distance from that place to its intersection with th© 
Pennsylvania Road is about ten miles,-

5 P. M. — departs on Monday, Wednesday and Friday,

Letters must be left at the Post Office within the time 
specified, to insure going in the mail of the day; and 
newspapers half an hour before that time, carefully put 
up and legibly directed, otherwise they will not be sent. 
As there are several places of the same name in the 
United States, it is necessary that the directions should 
be particular ; the States should be distinguished, and 
when it might be doubtful, the Counties. When letters 
are not for a post town, the nearest post town ought to 
be mentioned. The office is open, daily, from sunrise 
to 8 P. M. except Sundays, the Fourth of July, and 
Christmas day, when it is open from 7 \ to 8 \ A. M., 
and from 6 to 7 P. M. 

Persons wishing to pay postage when the office is 
shut, can inclose the money with the letter, directed to 
*' The Post Office." Those who keep accounts with 
the Carriers or Office,' will please inclose the letter di- 
rected in the same manner, with a request that the post- 
age be charged to their account. 

All notes or letters deposited in this office, directed 
to any part of this city, this side of Broad street, and 
to the populous parts of the Northern Liberties and 
Southwark, will be carried out with the Eastern, South- 
ern and Western Mails.
